Won over fences last season and has won twice over hurdles since September; now he's on a recovery mission after very quiet runs at Windsor (2m4f) and at the Cheltenham Festival (3m; again on his favoured good ground).

Idy Wood

J: Gavin Sheehan

T: Jamie Snowden

Won two chases last season and 2-4 back hurdling this term, with all those wins on good ground but he also scored on soft in his novice days; however, tailed off at Windsor on New Year's Day, unraced beyond 2m5f under rules and needs to resume his improvement.

2-5 over fences last season and gamely made all when back over hurdles for last month's reappearance at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good); might have a fitness edge over some of these but is 4lb higher in a much deeper race today.

Ran rather flat in a good Sandown handicap last time but won a Class 2 the time before at Cheltenham (3m, good to soft), his fourth win over hurdles; once had the pace for this trip but may need further now ideally, so will do well to lower the colours of Mirabad.

Second and first in handicaps in 2024 on his only two starts at this track, with the win on soft ground (runner-up early on in a heavy-ground bumper); won his second start (3m, soft) last season and the same happened this term, when he battled on well at Cheltenham (3m, good to soft) in December despite wandering; up 5lb but respected.

50,000euros 3yo; 6th foal; half-brother to French-placed performers; dam once-raced half-sister to French 1m4f Flat winner (including Listed-placed); stable does well in bumpers so he's one to take seriously.

Had a subsequent winning hurdler back in third when justifying favouritism by more than 7l in a good-ground bumper here in early November; penalised accordingly but could be useful.
